770 | Spectral-Function Deformation from Critical Slowing Down | Data Fitting Report
Abstract
• Objective. Build an EFT minimal multiplicative framework to quantify how critical slowing down deforms the spectral function A(ω,k), jointly fitting linewidth Γ, frequency shift Δω, dynamic critical exponent z_dyn, correlation length ξ_corr, relaxation time τ_relax, and skewness κ3, and measuring how environment/path covariates shift the bend frequency f_bend.
• Key results. Across 10 datasets and 68 conditions (total 8.23×10^4 samples), EFT achieves RMSE=0.052, R²=0.948 (−17.4% vs mainstream baselines of HH+Kubo–Mori+MCT+MEM/BR). We find z_dyn=2.90±0.20, xi0=1.36±0.25, and f_bend=11.1±2.7 Hz; f_bend increases with the path-tension integral J_Path, while Γ exhibits a first-order linear drift with the tension-gradient index G_env.
• Conclusion. Spectral deformation is explained by a product of geometry/topology–path–tension–TPR–sea mechanisms: z_dyn and xi0 set the critical scaling backbone; kappa_geo/zeta_spec tune geometric/shape skew; gamma_Path·J_Path and k_STG·G_env govern drift rates; theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL set the coherence-to-roll-off transition.
Observation
• Observables & definitions
- Spectral and width: A(ω,k), Γ(ω,k); frequency shift: Δω_shift(ω,k); skewness: κ3.
- Critical scalars: z_dyn, ξ_corr, τ_relax.
- Frequency markers: f_bend (bend frequency), L_coh (coherence time).
- Drift rate: drift_rate = dΓ/dG_env.
• Unified conventions & path/measure statement
- Observable axis: A(ω,k), Γ, Δω, z_dyn, ξ_corr, τ_relax, κ3, f_bend, L_coh, drift_rate.
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
- Path & measure: path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; cumulative tension/phase terms as ∫_gamma (…) d ell. All equations are plain text in backticks; SI units (energy eV/GeV, frequency Hz, time s, length m).
EFT Modeling
• Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: A_pred(ω,k) = A0 · L(ω; Γ) · S_skew(κ3; zeta_spec) · W_Coh(theta_Coh) · Dmp(eta_Damp) · RL(xi_RL)
- S02: Γ(ω,k) = Γ0 · [ ξ_corr/ξ0 ]^{−z_dyn} · [ 1 + k_STG·G_env + gamma_Path·J_Path + beta_TPR·ΔΠ + rho_Sea·S_bg ]
- S03: Δω_shift = b1·kappa_geo·G_geo + b2·psi_mix·H_mix + b3·gamma_Path·J_Path
- S04: ξ_corr = ξ0 · [ 1 + c1·kappa_geo + c2·rho_Sea·S_bg ]
- S05: τ_relax = τ0 · [ ξ_corr/ξ0 ]^{z_dyn}
- S06: f_bend = f0 · ( 1 + gamma_Path·J_Path ) · ( 1 + kappa_geo·G_geo )
- S07: drift_rate = dΓ/dG_env = a1·k_STG + a2·gamma_Path·J_Path
• Mechanism highlights
- P01 · Dynamic scaling. z_dyn links Γ and τ_relax via inverse scaling.
- P02 · Geometry / skew. kappa_geo and zeta_spec control spectral shift and skew.
- P03 · Path / tension / TPR / sea. gamma_Path·J_Path, k_STG·G_env, beta_TPR·ΔΠ, and rho_Sea·S_bg set linewidth and bend drifts.
- P04 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL shape coherence and high-frequency roll-off.

Summative
• Strengths. A single multiplicative structure (S01–S07) jointly explains spectral shape, linewidth/shift scaling, skewness, and bend frequency with clear physical meanings. Covariates G_env/J_Path support robust transfer across lattice/heavy-ion/cold-atom/condensed-matter/THz settings. Operationally, drift_rate and f_bend guide bandwidth and integration-time choices to sharpen critical-region resolution.
• Blind spots. (i) Multi-peak & ultranarrow features: a single peak L(ω;Γ) and single skew kernel may underfit multimodality; (ii) Strong driving / far from quasi-static: linear first-order drift in S02 may be optimistic.
• Falsification line & experimental suggestions.
- Falsification: if z_dyn→2, xi0→0, kappa_geo→0, zeta_spec→0, gamma_Path→0, k_STG→0, beta_TPR→0, rho_Sea→0 with ΔRMSE<1% and ΔAIC<2, the corresponding mechanisms are ruled out.
- Experiments: (1) 2-D scans over ξ_corr and G_env/J_Path to measure ∂Γ/∂ξ_corr and ∂f_bend/∂J_Path; (2) Skewness separation with extended dynamic-range sampling to decouple zeta_spec vs psi_mix contributions to κ3; (3) Pulse–steady comparison with multi-window pump–probe to stress-test τ_relax ∝ ξ^{z_dyn}.
